Keep the 12 valve, you've really got the best combo IMO.
Why do a conversion twice? Keep the dirty dozen!

We are close by each other you could always put that 12 in mine and then put a 24 in yours this winter. :eek:
Keep the 12v and if you can build another one with a Common Rail. If not, just keep modding what you got!
Your setup is nice. I would hate to change it if it's working for you.

I get a lot of crap from the Cummins boys for running a 24V instead of a 12V. I personally like being able to tune with a few buttons. The 12V is dead simple though.

Go with what you want. There are lots of guys running some pretty mean CRs now.
Keep the 12v and mock up some triple turbs for it :sly that would be sick
12v!

JP,

I will still build you that set of twins if you are up for it!

Stick with the 12v, you can always start a new project with a CR.
well my plan is to keep the 12v in my truck and put twins from GOS on it and im guna also find me a blown up CR and slowy rebuild it and have it for another project or if i need to put it in my truck!!!!! sooo more to come this winter, time to head to louisiana for some more pipeline work!!!

You can always switch later. You seem to have had great luck with this swap so I would stick with it. Chris
I have an 03 CR HO with 103,000. Dropped valve on #6. Broke the cylinder and whacked the head, but could be salvage sleeved. But is in Montana and along way from you.
